The ladies of , the , Episcopal
Church aj-e to, be congratulated.
The Garden Party was such an
overwhelming success that every
feature captivated a very appre
ciate audietice.
' MrsCR E Gibson's pretty lawn
was effectively decorated with
Japanese lanterns and the house
was transformed into an old time
colonial' residence "Janice Mer-(
edith," frToscelyn Cheschire"
and man ' colonial dames and
gentlemen ;.j in "doublet., and
prose" greeted the guest. The
dream was.on and in this som
nambulistic state we were usher-
ed into the presence of Gen.
George Washington and Lady
i -
Washington, where one could
only bow, bow ' and murmur
words of pleasure and surprise
at the honor conferred in the
city of Concord and incidentally
on the Colonial reception, by
their presence.
The Japanese Kitchen and
"all therein contained" was a
thing of beauty. The Japs were
quite fetching and graciously
consented to do away with rice
and chopsticks and serve ice tea
and sandwiches in place. The
guessing contest offered much
amusement, some of the local
hits being quite good.
The lawn drills were under the
management of Prof. Northcott
and the ladies are especially in
debted to him for his fine sug
gestions so proficiently executed
The first, we might call, the
"War of Roses", participated in
by twenty 1-ttle girls and boys,
lovely. Both armies finally sur
rendered and threw down their
weapons of roses, over which
pretty little Marie Caldwell was
led to the throne of llowors. Un
der her majesty's rein peace
declared and most wonderful to '
relate, the Father of his Country
smiled his approval.
The lantern drill was well ex
ecuted. The prize (a box of
candy) for the prettiest home-
